Chapter 85: Fighting for a contract
"Farmers, you don't have to be good at everything, otherwise how can you survive." Jiang Tangtang said: "I don't know what the price of your wild boar is?" "
Our restaurant usually accepts wild boars based on their appearance. In Thirty-five Wen When it costs forty cents per catty, we are all old acquaintances in the Jiangdong family. How about I give you forty cents per catty?"
Jiang Tangtang estimated the price of meat in the market. She usually buys meat for only more than ten cents per catty. , it is still well treated. Although this wild boar is game, it has not been treated. It is considered fair to sell it for forty cents per catty.
She nodded and said good, and shopkeeper Song ordered the waiter to weigh it.
The total weight of the wild boar including the skin and meat was 289 kilograms. Shopkeeper Song simply calculated the price for Jiang Tangtang. In the end, a wild boar was sold for a total of 1,200 yuan.
Lu Shili was a little dumbfounded.
Such a big wild boar was sold for just over a tael of silver?
How does this allow him to support his family?
And Jiang Tangtang realized belatedly that her pastries were quite expensive.
The price of a box of pastries is comparable to that of a pig. Fortunately, she has been eyeing the business of rich people since early on, and things are rare and expensive...
Otherwise, at her price, her pastries are really not guaranteed. It can be sold.
"Jiang Dongjia, you see the wild boar is overweight. Can we talk about cooperation?" Shopkeeper Song said.
"That's natural." Jiang Tangtang said, and asked Lu Shili to move the winter melon candies out of the carriage. "I'm a bit new to food. I wonder if Shopkeeper Song is interested in taking a look." By now,
the winter melon candies were cold enough and green. The winter melon strips are especially beautiful when hung with crystal clear icing sugar.
Shopkeeper Song's attention was immediately attracted, "What is this?"
"This is winter melon candy. Does Shopkeeper Song's restaurant want to sell some of it with it?"
Logically speaking, something like winter melon candy really doesn't go with his restaurant. But a few days ago, after listening to Jiang Tangtang's persuasion, I put the egg yolk cakes behind the checkout counter, and business was surprisingly good.
Some people came to the restaurant to have a meal. When they left, they looked at the novelty and bought a box of pastries to take away.
Because this box of pastries brought him many repeat customers. In the past few days, customers have been asking if the pastries sold that day are still available.
Shopkeeper Song thought about it, picked up a piece of winter melon candy, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The elderly and children will definitely like this taste.
Immediately, I discussed the price with Jiang Tangtang and planned to buy them all and sign a long-term contract to provide long-term supply of egg yolk cakes and other pastries.
The two were discussing various details of signing a long-term contract, and there was a noise outside.
"What's going on outside?" Shopkeeper Song thought someone was making trouble in the restaurant, so he called the waiter over to ask.
Unexpectedly, the waiter glanced at Jiang Tangtang with a strange expression and said, "There are many people coming outside. They are all shopkeepers of teahouses and restaurants in the city. They all came to look for Jiang Dong's family." It turned out
that these people had inquired about Jiang Tangtang's whereabouts. They all came to the restaurant to discuss business with Jiang Tangtang.
Hearing that someone was trying to compete with him for business, Shopkeeper Song suddenly said nervously: "Jiang Dong's family, we just agreed, but you can't change your mind!"
Shopkeeper Song offered very generous terms.
Not only did he arrange for someone to go to the countryside to pick up the goods, but after hearing that she wanted to find a carpenter to make a wooden box for the egg yolk cakes, he even took it over, saying that she only needed to provide the pastries and everything else would be taken care of by him.
And in terms of supply, Jiang Tangtang's side shall prevail.
Jiang Tangtang met Jiang Tangtang's requirements in all aspects, so Jiang Tangtang had no hesitation.
She smiled and said: "The most important thing in business is trust. I will not change my mind at will after I agreed to Shopkeeper Song. I hope Shopkeeper Song can do the same in future cooperation." Shopkeeper Song was in a happy mood
and laughed. : "That's natural! Don't worry, the Jiangdong family, I am the most honest person. If you cooperate with me, you will never regret it."
The two of them talked, finalized some details, and signed the cooperation contract.
As for the shopkeepers found from outside, Jiang Tangtang did not offend them. She only said that these food items had been signed for Baiweizhai, but she had other food in hand and would look for opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Two large pots of winter melon candy were exchanged for five taels of silver, plus a deposit of twenty taels of silver from shopkeeper Song. Jiang Tangtang continued to purchase raw materials.
Even though the food she sells is expensive, the cost is actually not cheap either. For example, sugar is an extremely valuable item in this era. But all the food she made was inseparable from sugar.
Not only is sugar expensive, oil is also expensive, and rapeseed oil is more expensive than lard. Basically, those who can use rapeseed oil are wealthy families.
Many poor families are reluctant to put away cooking oil and salt. Not to mention someone like Jiang Tangtang, who would fry a pot of oil at every turn.
Unfortunately, the food she cooks is basically a waste of sugar and oil.
Jiang Tangtang spent twenty taels of silver just to buy sugar, and another three taels of silver to buy oil. In addition, eggs were needed to make Shaqima, so he bought a lot of eggs.
Duck egg yolk is used to make egg yolk cake, so the more duck eggs, the better. The duck eggs in the market were basically rounded by Jiang Tangtang again.
In addition to various raw materials for business, Jiang Tangtang also bought several large pig trotters.
Lu Shiyan needed nutrition to treat his legs, and the adults and children at home also needed to be well nourished. Moreover, He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui had to work hard to open up wasteland, so they had to get involved.
With this in mind, Jiang Tangtang bought the tube bones, two pig heads, and offal such as pig hearts and lungs from the stall.
Twenty-five taels of silver, fifteen taels of silver were spent in the blink of an eye.
Pulling a cart full of things, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shili returned home.
On the way, thinking of the money from selling wild boars, Jiang Tangtang took out the money and gave it to Lu Shili and said, "Here, you earned it today!"
Looking at the small one or two cents of silver, Lu Shili said awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, just take it!"
He worked hard all day to catch a wild boar, but the money he earned was not as much as the silver his sister-in-law earned from selling two boxes of cakes.
What kind of man is he? He actually looked down on his sister-in-law before and scorned her!
Thinking about the bastard himself before, he really wanted to slap himself twice!
Jiang Tangtang raised his eyebrows, "You really don't want it?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm giving too little to support the family." Lu Shili secretly made a decision in his heart, clenched his fists and said, "But don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely work hard."
"Don't go hunting in the mountains next time. The mountains are so dangerous!" Jiang Tangtang said with concern.
Lu Shili said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will pay attention to your safety."
Jiang Tangtang saw that he had a sense of discretion, so he didn't say much more. With Lu Shiyan's skills, I guess his younger brother shouldn't be any worse!
After signing the contract with shopkeeper Song, as long as the goods are delivered on time, the family will have a stable income, and Jiang Tangtang feels a lot more relaxed.
But now that we have signed a contract with Shopkeeper Song, we have to prepare all the goods that need to be prepared.
After dinner that night, Jiang Tangtang got busy.
Su Shi, Lu Zhixi and others also came to help.
It's just that Su Shi and Lu Zhixi are all embroidered pillows, which are of no use.
Although the two tried their best to get things done, they often failed to help. Finally, Jiang Tangtang kicked everyone out, closed the door and entered the space.
With the help of various modern and advanced kitchen utensils, Jiang Tangtang quickly prepared the goods that needed to be delivered the next day.
